My favorite of her albums is Boots 2: The Lost Songs and The Harrow & The Harvest. Easily found on Spotify/YouTube. If you like that stuff, much of Allison Krauss' catalog should be added as well.

Thanks for the mentioning. I'm sure I've listened to that one before but forgot about it. YouTubing now...

This is all the excuse I need to poast my top 5 GW/DR songs. As for albums, Gillian's Time (The Revelator) is my clear #1.

#5
Spoiler:
vintage Gillian

#4
Spoiler:
One of their many songs that sounds like it could have been recorded 50 or 100 years ago, but it was released in 2020 (on the album that won the Grammy for Best Folk Album)

Can't touch their gospel tunes...

#2
Spoiler:
Rawlings wrote this one with Ryan Adams, and my first exposure to this song was back in the early aughts when I saw Old School. It's interesting to compare Adams's version with Rawlings's.

The songs that have made my iPod cut so far:

Orphan Girl
By The Mark
Everything Is Free
I'm Not Afraid To Die

ETA: As much as I hate 99% of the music that is played on the mothercorp radio station up here, I have to give them props to playing stuff I'd otherwise be unlikely to stumble across. They randomly played "Orphan Girl" while I was out driving in a hurry to one place or another and it was a wonderful who-the-****-is-this? moment.

September Recap


As you can see, the new Harrahdise chips are in circulation. They're consistent with the renovated design of the new casino: spiffy and serviceable, but uncreative.

A few gambol-related topics as a reminder that this is still, at least in theory, a poker blog.

RIP Archie Karas

Karas is probably best known for his epic "run" when he turned $50 bucks into $50 million, or more, and then lost it all. A few years ago he did an interview that, to my mind, offers a great argument against a gambling-centric life.



and then there are the bots, courtesy of Bloomsberg reporter Kit Chellel.

October Recap


Mostly been pleasantly trapped in the teaching vortex, along with some occasional gamboling in the Quarter, where oodles of Swifties ran amok

Spoiler:

Didn't go to any of the three shows, but by most accounts they were solid and the locals were thrilled with bizness: the Swifties were polite and tipped well, which is all you can really ask of tourists, right? All told, Empress Tay brought in $500 million to Nola. Enough to fix a pothole or three.

Nice balance trick with the two quarters and a nickel. And the dog in the casino -do they have to have a service dog label to be there? I've seen some streams where a player had a dog sitting with him (Texas as I recall)

Depends on the casino, I think. At Harrahdise I'm pretty sure you need a service dog label or there's a size limit. The guy who brought the pup above said the service dog vest was bullshit but it usually works.

How are the games at Casino del LOL treating you? Sorry I won't be able to join you over the holidays...

Lol @ dog at poker table. So long as she's playing her own hand and no one is giving her advice, I'm cool with it. ODTAH.

Lol @ fluffball with dinosaur.

Aren't you a TayTay fan? She's ending her tour here this weekend; wife and stepdaughters all managed to get awesome floor tickets and all are super pumped. But I'll have a nice night at home with the puppy.

The "big game" at Del Sol has basically gone dormant since a couple of the "reasons" for the game have gone broke or left town. I'm mostly playing on-line once a week in a private game very low stakes. I'll see what happens at Del Sol when the gem show comes to town. Used to really pick up the action.

yes indeed. she was just in Nola around Halloween and the city transformed into Swiftyville. Despite being a fan, I had little interest in attending the show. Like you, I prefer nights at home with the pup

I remember you talking about the gem show. Hope the action picks up again at some point. I went to Harrahdise yesterday around five and there were only two tables running--on a Monday, but still. The games here are good but there are fewer tables and a lot of the big money has gone underground/migrated to Texas.
